Victoria's Tourism and Events Industry Strategy 2020
Victoria's Tourism and Events Industry Strategy 2020 has been developed by the Victoria Tourism Industry Council (VTIC) and the Victoria Events Industry Council (VEIC), in collaboration with broader industry.
It follows on from the Tourism and Events Strategy 2016, first developed by industry in 2008. The Strategy incorporates an assessment of progress towards the original strategy and outlines a plan to accomplish future growth in the four key focus areas of leadership, industry development, infrastructure and marketing.
The Strategy represents the commitment and drive of Victoria's tourism and events industry to demonstrate leadership in setting and achieving its future goals.
The Strategy also incorporates Victoria's Events Industry Development Plan - a detailed industry development strategy for Victoria which outlines actions to enhance the development of the events industry. Download your copy of the:
